Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
Yes but neither Iraq or Afghanistan were responsible for those attacks so NATO has never been mobilized. The US invasion of Iraq, as you already stated before, was not agreed upon by several NATO members including France.
So you’re saying NATO was mobilized without Article 5 even though NATO members voluntarily enterred Afghanistan? You seem to not understand what NATO is, it is a mutual defense pact that forces its members to participate in a war when one member is attacked, and that has never happened.
Article 5 was not invoked on Afghanistan, Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11 which was not perpetrated by Afghanistan.
Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11
“The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declared an Article 5 contingency through a series of resolutions of the North Atlantic Council enacted between September 12 and October 2, 2001, done in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States.”
The USA went into Afghanistan in 2001, NATO operations officially started in 2003, as per the articles you just linked.
NATO Allies went into Afghanistan in 2001.

ISAF was completed in December 2014 when the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces assumed full responsibility for security across their country.

I already linked with sources that Article 5 was invoked and Afghanistan was a NATO mission, not the US and some allies.
